Weightlifting at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's 69 kg

The Women's 69 kilograms weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, took place at ExCeL London.

Summary Total score was the sum of the lifter's best result in each of the snatch and the clean and jerk, with three lifts allowed for each lift. In case of a tie, the lighter lifter won; if still tied, the lifter who took the fewest attempts to achieve the total score won. Lifters without a valid snatch score did not perform the clean and jerk.

Maryna Shkermankova of Belarus originally won the bronze medal, but was disqualified in 2016 after a retest of her 2012 sample was positive for steroids, fourth-placed Dzina Sazanavets of Belarus was also disqualified for the same reason.IOC sanctions eight athletes for failing anti-doping test at London 2012 Kazakh lifter Anna Nurmukhambetova was upgraded to the bronze medal. However, in November 2020, London sample re-tests revealed an anti-doping violation by Romania's silver medalist, Roxana Cocoș, leading to her disqualification and the removal of her medal.IOC sanctions three athletes for failing anti-doping tests at London 2012 In June 2021, Colombia’s Ubaldina Valoyes was bumped up to third place to receive a bronze medal. Because Nurmukhambetova was already serving a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs at that time, she was denied an upgrade to the silver medal, resulting in two bronze medals being awarded for the event (as of June 2021).
